You can use the Automatic Solve Order option to automatically sequence the equations in an order determined by the software to produce accurate results.
You can select the Automatic Solve Order
option in the Equations, Global Variables, and
Dimensions dialog box. When this option is selected, the SOLIDWORKS
software identifies dependencies and orders equations so that independent equations are
executed before dependent equations. If equation B is defined as a function of equation
A, then equation A must be solved first.
For example, in the following two equations, the software evaluates "D2@Sketch1@part_inside.Part"
first, so it can safely be used as a variable in the equation for "D1@Sketch1@part_outside.Part".
| "D1@Sketch1@part_outside.Part"
=
"D2@Sketch1@part_inside.Part"
+ 2 |
| "D2@Sketch1@part_inside.Part"
=
"Side"
- 6 |
You can view the solve order in the Ordered View
of the Equations, Global Variables, and Dimensions dialog box.
You must clear this option to manually change the order of the
equations.
